Big East Tidbits
I would still accept a Big East offer in a nanosecond as it would be a major upgrade in hoops and academics (btw, don't believe an offer is coming anytime soon). I sure wish they were forming the new Big East this summer, we would have gotten an invite over Creighton IMHO.
But some interesting tidbits:
-UD has won more NCAA games the last 2 years than Providence has in the last 27 (since their Final 4 run in 1986-1987).
-Creighton has only been to the Elite 8 in 1941 when there were only 8 teams in the NCAA and it lost its 1st round game.
-Creighton has not made a Sweet 16 in 40 years (last one in 1974). Has not advanced beyond round of 32, wow!
-Dayton has 5 NCAA wins in 2 years and Creighton has 5 wins in 23 years.
-Dayton was #3 according to kenpom if they were in the BE last year and would be #4/5 this year (technically #5 slightly behind Providence).
-Dayton would be #3 in attendance in the Big East behind only Creighton and Marquette.
